00:30The Philippines will hold a diplomatic protest.
00:33Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:35Not only in the sea,
00:40the so-called dangerous maneuvers of China
00:43are happening to the Filipinos in Scarborough or Panatagsyol.
00:46This Thursday, the Philippine Air Force's airplane
00:49experienced the dangerous maneuvers of the People's Liberation Army Air Force's airplane.
00:53According to the AFP,
00:55their NC212 aircraft is carrying out a routine maritime patrol.
00:59This Thursday morning,
01:01two Chinese airplanes were hit by flares
01:04on the Philippine's aircraft.
01:06The NC212 was safely returned to the Clark Air Base.
01:11But according to the AFP,
01:12the Chinese aircraft made a dangerous maneuver.
01:15The flares are for defense against missiles
01:17and should not be used against other airplanes.
01:20Very dangerous.
01:21Because, for instance,
01:22those flares
01:24reached our aircraft.
01:27It can hit the propeller or the intake,
01:33or it can even burn our aircraft.
01:36Yet, the Southern Theater Command of China
01:38is illegal and affected.
01:39In their training and exercise activities,
01:42our airplane entered the airspace of Panatagsyol.
01:46Several times, the Chinese aircraft made dangerous maneuvers.
01:49The diplomatic protest and the DFA
01:51were shocked by the action of China,
01:53especially when the two countries agreed
01:56to ease the tension
01:58in the bilateral consultative mechanism.
02:01That's why we talked.
02:02But certainly,
02:03I said, we reached an understanding the other week
02:06and then this will happen.
02:07So naturally, it's something we have to really consider.
02:10Well, I don't know why they did it.
02:11That's what I can say.
02:12It certainly took us by surprise.
02:14The National Maritime Council will discuss
02:17the next step.
02:18All they have on their side is brute force,
02:21and strength, and might.
02:23And that's what they're going to do.
02:25Hopefully, they'll listen to reason.
02:27Well, they're already doing it.
02:30China is already doing it.
02:32Not just us.
02:33But even the other aircraft in the South China Sea,
02:37in the area of Japan, Australia.
02:39That's what China is doing.
02:42The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea
02:45was also called to harass what China did.
02:47It was said that the safety of the Filipino crew
02:50is at risk since they have no control over the Chinese jets.
02:53However, according to the AFP,
02:55the patrol is still ongoing.
02:57In the midst of China's harassment,
02:59maritime domain awareness lights
03:02and patrols in the West Philippine Sea will continue.
03:04China's alliance is said to be strong
03:07while the Philippines holds the right
03:10to recognize its own EEZ
03:12that is being given under international law.
03:15On the other side of the channel,
03:17through the Batanes and Bambuyan Islands,
03:19four maritime militia ships of China were seen
03:22according to the maritime security expert, Ray Powell.
03:25However, the ships remained illegal
03:27and reversed course on the other side of the channel
03:30since they only allow innocent passage here
03:33according to UNCLOS.
03:35We are still trying to get the PCG's opinion on this.
03:38For GMA Integrated News,
03:40who is your witness?
03:43The Department of Agriculture
03:45has promised that there is no reason
03:46to increase the price of pork
03:48because there will be no problem with the supply.
03:51Witness, Tina Panganiban Perez.
03:56Despite the spread of African Swine Fever
03:59in some provinces
04:00and the death of thousands of pigs,
04:03there is no problem with the supply of pork
04:06is the secret of the Department of Agriculture.
04:09This is the concern of the Aga Party List,
04:12especially in the Burmonts where there are a lot of preparations.
04:15I didn't see any proceeded short-taste
04:19It's farm-based lockdown now,
04:21not the whole municipality or the whole province.
04:24So there will still be a movement.
04:27Laurel also said that there is no reason
04:30to increase the price of pork and processed meat.
04:34No reason to increase prices.
04:36Sir, what is the impact of the ASF
04:38on the processed meat industry?
04:40It should be gone.
04:42It should be replaced.
04:43So it's the same,
04:44no supply shortage and no price increase?
04:48Yes.
04:49The DA raised Php 150 million
04:52for financial assistance to affected hog raisers.
04:56Php 4,000 will be paid for each pig or small pig.
05:00Php 8,000 for the medium-sized
05:03and Php 12,000 for the large.
05:05The DA increased the payment
05:08so that the sick pigs will not be exploited.
05:11The DA expects that next week,
05:14the first batch of 10,000 doses
05:18of the vaccine against ASF will be distributed.
05:20Php 350 million was raised
05:23for the 600,000 doses
05:26that the DA will give free
05:28to the affected by ASF.
05:30The Aga Partylist said
05:32this is not enough.
05:33Because of the backyard hog raisers,
05:36the pigs are being raised for Php 6 million.
05:39The backyard raisers cannot afford
05:41Php 600 per pig.
05:45If we will give free to our backyard raisers,
05:49we will need Php 3.6 billion
05:52to buy the vaccine.
05:56For GMA Integrated News,
05:58Tina Panganiban Perez is your witness.
06:03The MRT 4 from Edsa Ortigas to Taytay.
06:06MRT 7 from North Edsa to San Jose del Monte in Bulacan.
06:12Metro Manila Subway from East Valenzuela
06:14to Pacalamba, Laguna.
06:16And the North-South Commuter Railway
06:18from Clark to Laguna.
06:21These are the routes that will be built
06:22in the Greater Capital Region Railway System
06:25together with the current lines of the train.
06:28The LRT 1, MRT 3, MRT 7,
06:32and Metro Manila Subway
06:35will be planned to meet at Unified Grand Central Station
06:37in Quezon City.
06:38And within a few months,
06:40the new routes of the LRT 1 will open.
06:44Witness, Joseph Moro.
06:49In October, the Department of Transportation
06:51will open the Phase 1 of the LRT 1
06:54from Baclaran to Paranaque.
06:57That's why the LRT 1 will be suspended
06:59during their operation every weekend
07:01throughout the month of August
07:02as a preparation here.
07:04We're installing a signaling system
07:06in the Paranaque stations
07:08and then we will connect it
07:10to Line 1 signaling system.
07:12It will depend on the testing
07:14and commissioning of the signaling.
07:16The LRT 1 is one of the four lines of the train
07:19in Metro Manila,
07:20but it has a limited capacity
07:21and it's difficult for some
07:23to move the train.
07:25But the DOTR has a plan
07:27to connect all the projects of the train
07:29like the MRT 4, MRT 7,
07:32Metro Manila Subway,
07:33and North-South Commuter Railway
07:35through the Greater Capital Region Railway System.
07:38For now, the connection of the MRT 3
07:43through a common station
07:45will be the target for next year.
07:47That's one of the things we're studying.
07:49That's the reason why
07:51we want to privatize the operations
07:53and maintenance of MRT 3.
07:55Once the two lines of MRT 3 and LRT 1
07:57are connected,
07:59it will be the loop
08:00where the other lines of the train
08:03that the government is working on
08:05like the North-South Commuter Railway Project
08:08will be connected to Clark-Pampanga
08:11where only 82% of the facilities are complete.
08:14This is the main depot
08:15of the entire NSCR
08:17or North-South Commuter Railway Project
08:19and this is where the heavy and light repairs
08:22of the trains will be done
08:23when the project is underway.
08:25This depot is expected to be completed in June.
08:28In 2027, the target is partial operability
08:31from Valenzuela to Clark-Pampanga of the NSCR.
08:35Metro Manila Subway
08:36can also be connected to a common station.
08:39MRT 7 is also being built.
08:42In the Greater Capital Region Railway System,
08:44there is a railway system
08:45that will connect to the provinces of
08:48Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila,
08:49Rizal, Cavite, and Laguna.
08:51That is our dream
08:55that our train system will be operational
08:59similar to the operations of trains
09:03in Japan or in other developed countries.
09:07For GMA Integrated News,
09:09I am Joseph Morong, your witness.
09:12Additional charges will be implemented
09:14by Meralco this August.
09:16According to Meralco,
09:17additional charges are P3 per kWh,
09:20which means additional charges are P7
09:22for those consuming 200 kWh per month
09:26due to the increase in the transmission charge
09:28of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
09:30after buying Reservang Kulyente.
09:33There are still expected additional charges
09:34for the coming months
09:36due to those who are not yet charged
09:37by the NGCP for transmission charges
09:40and the high price of electricity
09:42of some plants purchased by Meralco.
09:44If there is an increase in electricity prices,
09:46the price of oil will drop starting tomorrow.
09:49The rollback on gas is P2.45 per liter,
09:53P1.90 on diesel,
09:55and P2.40 on kerosene.
09:57One of the reasons is the drop in the number
10:00of oil imported by China
10:01due to the slowdown of its economy.
10:04Pistons and cranks
10:06will have a stop-and-go period
10:09from Wednesday to Friday.
10:11Jeepney drivers from Metro Manila,
10:13Iloilo, Bacolod, Davao, Southern Tagalog, and Bicol
10:17will be allowed to study the POV Modernization Program.
10:20In Metro Manila alone,
10:2235,000 jeepney drivers and operators
10:25are expected to join.
10:27Pistons also plan to sleep in the Supreme Court.
10:30On the other hand,
10:31according to the Department of Transportation,
10:33they will start their pursuit of non-franchises.
10:37This was first stated by President Bongbong Marcos
10:39that the implementation of the POV Modernization Program
10:43is in line with the recommendation of the Senate
10:44to suspend it for now.
10:46For GMA Integrated News,
10:48Darlene Caye is your witness.
10:51Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista clarified
10:54that it was not from the CCTV
10:55of the Manila International Airport Authority
10:58that Vice President Sara Duterte
11:00was allowed to leave the country
11:01during the super-storm Karina and Habagat.
11:05According to the Secret Service,
11:05they did not have a camera in the area
11:07where Vice President Duterte took off to Germany.
11:11Bautista added that the video footage of Vice President Duterte
11:14was probably from passengers.
11:16Last week, Vice President Duterte
11:17called the officials of the airport
11:20and said that he was not only investigating
11:24the public distribution of video footage,
11:27but also that he was on his way to security.
11:31Duterte also highlighted the issue of the budget,
11:33which is one of the long-standing issues
11:35that led to his resignation from the Presidential Cabinet.
11:39According to Budget Secretary Amena Pangandaman,
11:43the budget of the DepEd was raised this year
11:45as a support for the solid program.

13:38This is the actress' comeback after 2 years

14:40The budget department has already issued the guidelines
14:43for the first payment of additional salary
14:44for the government officials.
14:46The payment of additional salary will be based on the budget
14:49until 2027.
14:51For example, for a Teacher 1
14:52whose salary is Php 27,000 per month,
14:56he will receive a total of Php 6,000
14:59in additional salary within four years.
15:03The first drop in the salary
15:05was effective on January 1, 2024
15:07for the national agencies.
15:09That's why it's retroactive
15:11or the received salary should be pursued
15:14from January.
15:15The local government should issue an ordinance.
15:19Aside from this,
15:20Php 7,000 per year of medical allowance
15:23will be given to each government employee
15:25as part of their additional benefit.
15:34Three decades have passed
15:36since some farms were expanded
15:38in Ugbo, Tondo.
15:40Among them are Lechon Kawali
15:42and other farms
15:43that have pork inside.
15:46Let's witness the joy!
15:52In this food walk in Ugbo, Tondo,
15:54there are a lot of foreigners.
15:55Different colors and flavors
15:57come together.
15:58But the OG or original pride of Ugbo
16:01is not in the bright lights
16:03that you can see and taste,
16:04but in this corner.
16:06Blink and you'll miss it.

16:14But why is it like that?
16:15Because Tumbong is
16:17pork inside.
16:18It's one of the premier dishes here.
16:24They serve young people dishes
16:26like Lechon Kawali and Laman Loob.
16:29Everything in moderation.
16:31And don't forget the maintenance.
16:33Because of the success of this food,
16:35the food park industry flourished
16:37in their area.
16:38As the Viennese say,
16:39with love.
16:41We will serve and cook.
16:43For those who are here for the first time,
16:45this is the Tumbong soup
16:46here in Ugbo, Tondo.
16:48It's not far,
16:49but let's see if it's really
16:51going to pass our taste test.
16:54Matt and his friends
16:56came back from Japan
16:57to taste the best kept secret
16:59of Ugbo, Tondo.
